ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE:
The nutritional risk in hospitalized children and adolescents is a frequent and under-diagnosed reality. There is still no consensus regarding the best nutritional screening method in pediatrics, with StrongKids being one of the existing proposals. A systematic review was performed to evaluate the scientific evidence about StrongKids, with emphasis on the world frequency of nutritional risk, associations of interest in health, validation and reproducibility studies.METHODS:
Databases Pubmed, Lilacs, Scielo, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library were searched, using keyword "StrongKids," without limit on the year of publication, in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.RESULTS:
From 125 papers initially identified, 22 original were included in analysis. The sample size ranged from 43 to 2874, with a maximum of 44 hospitals. The frequency of nutritional risk (medium or high) ranged from 35.7 to 100%. The nutritional risk was mainly associated with acute and/or chronic malnutrition already installed, lower anthropometric indexes and longer length of hospital stay. The method presented satisfactory inter-rater and intra-rater agreements and was validated in the three studies performed with this proposal.CONCLUSIONS:
The prevalence of nutritional risk in hospitalized children and adolescents is high. StrongKids is a valid, easy-to-use, and reproducible method, with significant associations of interest in health.
